Description
Torokina, Bougainville, New Guinea. 1945-09. Two Japanese prisoners of war outside a tent at the 2/1st Australian General Hospital (2/1AGH). Sick and starving soldiers like these continued to surrender in small numbers for weeks after Japan officially surrendered. Note the identity tags worn by both. (Donor M. Zaetta)
